In addition to providing disinfection, does chlorine participate in any other chemical reactions?
During the disinfection process at the treatment plants and while the water is in the distribution system waiting to be used, chlorine can combine with natural organic matter in the water to form a family of chemical compounds known as disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which include trihalomethanes (THMs). There is some concern that THMs may be potential carcinogens.
